Even if TikTok is 100% garbage posts the United States should not be banning it. Good news though... Americans will find alternatives and learn Chinese in the process if so required...

Downgrading to react-router v6 because v7 introduces a bunch of useless SSR features. and because its all about SSR now they removed the simple "loading screen" functionality, so now when you click on a link nothing happens for about 0.5 -1sec while the next view loads. vs what was before where it would imminently switch to a loading screen until the next view loaded

This is the second library so far that I regularly use where I have a better experience using the older version then trying to upgrade to their newer server side rendered crap

Chakra UI is the second one. their v3 introduces a whole shadcn style cli (and AI integration) for creating and managing components... which is completely useless because I don't want to customize the component I just want to use them...

Anyways seems like somehow these companies have found a way to convert front-end development libraries into a subscription service that requires you to use their tools and their servers to build and run a local browser app
